Golang

Create a new project

Create a new project with the following command:

mkdir formance-go-demo
cd formance-go-demo
go mod init example/formance-go-demo

Install the Formance SDK

Install the Formance SDK with the following command:

go get github.com/formancehq/formance-sdk-go/v2
go get golang.org/x/oauth2/clientcredentials

info

The Formance API relies on OAuth 2.0 for authentication.

For more information, see OAuth 2.0.

danger

In this demo, we will setup the Formance SDK with the client credentials grant type, which requires a client ID and client secret. These are sensitive credentials that should not be exposed to the public.

If you're integrating the Formance SDK in a client-side application, you should should use an OAuth 2.0 flow that does not expose the client secret, such as the authorization code grant.

Hello world from the Formance Ledger

Create a new file called main.go with the following content:

package main

import (
  "context"
  "github.com/formancehq/formance-sdk-go/v2"
  "golang.org/x/oauth2/clientcredentials"
  "log"
)

const FORMANCE_ENDPOINT = "https://xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx.sandbox.formance.cloud"
const TOKEN_ENDPOINT = FORMANCE_ENDPOINT + "/api/auth/oauth/token"

func main() {
  config := clientcredentials.Config{
    ClientID:     "6a936dfe-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz-9019a1e9b9e3",
    ClientSecret: "20bd58c4-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz-dc05258bc959",
    TokenURL:     TOKEN_ENDPOINT,
  }

  ctx := context.Background()
  httpClient := config.Client(ctx)

  formance := v2.New(
    v2.WithServerURL(FORMANCE_ENDPOINT),
    v2.WithClient(httpClient),
  )

  info, err := formance.Ledger.GetInfo(ctx)

  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }

  println(info.ConfigInfoResponse.GetData().Version)
}

info

You'll need the API endpoint and the credentials created during the SDK's Getting Started guide. If you don't have them, you can create them by following the guide.

Run the project

Run the project with the following command:

go run main.go

You should see the version of the Formance Ledger printed to the console, for example:

2.0.0-rc.13
